STEPHEN GIRARD AS
A BUSINESS MACHINE
Professor McMasterls Long-Atvaited Life of the Merchant
Gives a Detailed Account of His
Many Activities
MQJO IT Is out at last," said Owen, as
'ho picked up from my desk a
volume of MCMnster's "Life of Stephen
Slrard."
He knew that Professor McMaster
had been at work on tho book for
aeveml years, and that ha had been
examining the private papers of the
(treat. merchant. There nro more than
l0,000 documents, consisting of let
ters, ships' papers, reports of prize
court trials and other papers Inci
dental to thp transaction of business.
"It must be a fascinating volume,"
said Doctor McFabre, who Is espe
cially interested In biography. He has
told mo more than once that there
is no better May to learn the history
of a period than to read the lives of
tho men who wore. Us leaders. In
that way, he says, one can discover
what problem presented themselves
for solution and how those problems
affected society.
'The lite of Olrard ought to
out even looking at It," said I. "The
book Is neither so dull as Owen thinks,
nor Is It so Interesting as you would
llko It to be. I coiiu'ss I was disap
pointed when I read It because I had
expected the Life would have disclosed
the romance which seems to have
tired our Imagination. Hut the book
docs not contain It. As I have great
lespect for Professor McMaster ns a
careful scholar and as n conscientious
historian, I began to nttempt to And
out what he had tried to do. You know
It Is ryot fair to Judge a hook until ou

"but tills does not look Interesting.
Listen to this: 'Five gourdes were
asked because It was not possible to
know what would bo the loss on paper
money.' The context shows that It
Is explanatory of a business trans
action. And I tlnd page after page
given over to quotations from letters
In which prices of commodities are
stated nnd directions for selling them
glen to his agents. That sort of
stuff docs not Interest me."
"Thero must bo something beside
business letters In the book," 'snld
Doctor McFabre. "Glrard lived
through the most exciting period of
the history of the modern world, next
to our own. Ho was here at the be
ginning of our lleolutlon. His busi
ness was affected by the French lloo
lutlon nnd the war of 1812. He was
our greatest merchant and biggest
prlxate banker. There must have
been romance In his life: If not per
sonal romance, then the romance of
great enterprises. I do not under
stand how It Is possible to wrlto a
life of him which would not thrill the
imagination. You aro unfair to Mc
Master, Owen, to Judge him by a
casual glanco at his booK."
"Owen Is no moie unfair than you
aro, doctor, to get enthusiastic wlth-
tt does not stir the Imagination. I
do not think Doctor McMaster set out
to wrlto a "popular life. He has writ
ten a book which describes with pains
taking accuracy of detail the history
of the business career of Stephen
Olrard and the difficulties which he
encountered because of tho unsettled
state of the world nt the time. He
could havo made It so Interesting that
one would read It whether he cared
particularly for Glrard or not. Ho
has chosen to pack It full of Informa
tion which will gle to those who nie
already Interested the knowledge
which they desire. It Is an Invaluable
contribution to the commercial hls-
i tory of the world from 1775 to 1S31.
Doctor McMaster has explained the
I political conditions of Europe fully
enough for the reader to understand
i their effect on the enterprises of
Glrard. He tells how the merchanf
first dealt with San Domingo and
France, and how he was forced to
shift his trading to China and then
to South America. This Is Important
because It Illustrates in tho case of(
one merchant the unsettled state of
commerce and makes us wonder that

The Arthurian Legends

has written a pcholarlv nnd comprehen

"l.e Morte d'Arlhur of Sir Thomas Mal

Her book, based nn fifteen years'
teaching of the legends In college classes
and of describing them In public lectures,
takes the form of a portly volume,
which considers the subject from all view
points, literary, historical, critical. Inter

to traversing or exploring new territory,
but hopes to act as r guide In .1 lovelv

The origins of the Malory masterpiece
are examined, both Ilngllsh nnd French,
and this In Itself confers value on the
work, aside from the great value of its
major object, the anahsls and Interprc

He does give proof that Glrard
was a hard-headed business man, un
moved by sentiment where the en
forcement of a contract was con
cerned, or wheto by dlsregaid of cus
toms legulatlons he could get his
goods Into forbidden ports. In his
early ttading days he was fianhly a
smuggler. He ndvlsed his agents to
use bribery If necessary. He engaged
In privateering, which was a form of
piracy, but made no money out of that
and gave it up. But he was no greater
offender In these respects than other
business men of his time. Thero Is
abundance nf material out of which
to construct the hlstoiy of his com-1
' merclal career, hut there, is almost
none out of winch the man can tie
made to live as a human being,"
"Perhaps that Is because he was a
mere money-maWIng machine," sug
gested Owen.
"That may be," said I. "But then
how are you going to explain his be
quest of more than 16,000,000 to Phila
delphia to found a school for orphans?"
"He had no wife and no children
nnd there was no other use he could
have made of his money." said Owen.
"He had a lot of kinsfolk In France,"
I said. "The money might have been
left to them. He chose.'rather, to give
It to the city where he mado it. But
as to McMaster's book, I should have
liked It better If the author had used
a little dramatic imagination In the
use of his materials and had attempted
to Interpret the external life of the
man as the expression of nn Inner
purpose and spirit. Somebody will do
this some time and give us a popular
life of Glrard which will be a fascinat
ing study of the. big business man
when big business was In Its Infancy.
McMaster has furnished the material
for him) to work with."

and Iloses." Among the poets represent
ed are Tom Daly. Robert- Frost, Vachel
Lindsay, James Whltcomb Ililey, Sara
Teasdale, John Masefleld, Florence Earle
